Despite the growing body of research exploring the nexus of race, racism, and language education, there remains a need to examine language teaching practices in non-English contexts. South Korea, with its diverse migrant population and history of racial discrimination that is not strictly based on colour, offers a unique perspective on the…

Educational scholars are currently directing attention toward the role of educational organizations in maintaining or disrupting the forces and consequences of racism. The institutional logics perspective has utility for studying how deep-seated and taken-for-granted ideas influence the structures, policies, and practices of educational systems.…

In this essay, music education is conceptualized as a game or performance within The Game, the "pervasive atmosphere" (Fisher 2009) of neoliberal capitalism, which inevitably shapes scholarship, practice, and policy. Even people who strive to see music education for what it really might be (e.g., those researching and promoting social…

The national demand for social justice, racial equality, and criminal justice reform rightfully and painfully continues to sweep the consciousness of this nation. Community colleges were founded on educational excellence, opportunity, and access and should reflect principles of equity, justice, and community. This mission calls upon us, the most…

Teachers' racial biases can impact disparities in their perceptions and expectations of students and contribute to inequitable student outcomes. Therefore, interventions that train teachers on strategies for reducing racial biases may hold promise for mitigating inequities. However, research on bias-reduction interventions in applied contexts is…

Higher education institutions have been negligent in their diversity missions and have spaces that perpetuate racism rather than provide opportunities to look for its cure. Without interrogating race, racism, and antiracism on their campuses, colleges and universities continue to produce graduates who perpetuate racism. We must take a…

With 22 states recently passing legislation attacking diversity programs and initiatives on college campuses, it is now, more than ever, important for educators to find a way to protect and foster Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility, and Anti-Racism (DEIA+AR) in postsecondary education in order to prepare graduates to participate in a…

The statistics are real: Black students are more likely to be suspended, more likely to attempt suicide, and less likely to attend college than their white peers. What can we do to change these realities? Do you want to just talk about race, or do you want to make real change in the lives of children and what they experience every day? Antiracism…

There is a critical need to disrupt the systemic racism that underlies educational inequities and support greater social justice (Croom, Journal of Literacy Research 52:530-552, 2020). One powerful way to do so is to foster racial literacy (i.e., the skill and practice of critically examining race and racism in teaching and in students' learning…

This article analyses the discourse on 'good parenthood' that has emerged in Germany in the context of neoliberal educational reforms in recent decades. The analysis shows that this discourse is structured mainly along the lines of "race", "class" and "gender." It also shapes the parents' responses to racial othering…

This document records testimony from a hearing held to examine the real impact of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) on college campuses. Member statements were presented by: (1) Honorable Burgess Owens, Chairman, Subcommittee on Higher Education and the Workforce Development; and (2) Honorable Suzanne Bonamici, a Representative in Congress…

This article draws on interviews with 41 equality and diversity staff in higher education institutions in England who were not members of the Race Equality Charter (REC). It uses the concept of Whiteness and White privilege to argue that within the framework of White normative practices, the role of equality and diversity staff are used as a…

Care is foundational to the way we reproduce and transform the world around us. Today, in a time marked by widespread calls for racial and social justice, and simultaneous backlash against these calls, it is imperative that we understand the ways that care circulates and operates within racialized struggle. In this dissertation I engage in this…

A growing body of evidence shows that positive student outcomes are associated with racial/ethnic diversity among university STEM instructors. However, few studies to date have been able to provide direct causal evidence identifying the specific mechanism(s) hypothesized to drive the benefits of instructor racial/ethnic diversity. Leaving these…

Despite increased attention to racial disparities in health, wellbeing, and academic outcomes--especially for Black, Latine, and Native American children and children from low-income households--little progress has been made in identifying the root causes of those disparities and, more importantly, identifying equitable policies and strategies to…
